@35:33 That is my Island !! Princess Nina Aga Khan Island, otherwise known as Pelou or Pellew Island in Portie. Spent many a days, as a child playing pirate on that island.
I'd have thought that Guy's turn was rigged, but he did have a great swing. The hammer's handle was dang near parallel with the floor on contact. That's one axis take care of
yep, good decision to swing with one hand like that too, way more momentum that way since the mallet is so short. That website they mention that compares it to cutting wood has a point, QI aren't using the equivalent of a chopping axe here, but more a hatchet.
I'd guess that the "reserving pool/beach lounges" thing is a bit of a self fulfilling vicious circle. The Germans are known for doing it so the English go out early to do it themselves before the Germans get there, so the French go out earlier than the English, so the Germans go out earlier than the French, etc.
Im german and 1. never reserve a pool/beach lounge 2. never do holidays where this might be a problem 3. think it’s a disgusting behaviour no matter where you’re born
I'm German and British! I always take 2 towels on holiday just in case!!! Some bastard always beats me to it! Bloody French..... Or is it the Welsh? They do love a good tan...
This theory of sunbathing being invented in 1920's France is ridiculous. My relatives have gone to the same cliffs by the sea, since the mid 17'th century. And that's just in our recent Swedish history. People have been living on tropical beaches for at least a million years.
Well the story was about how she wasn't allowed to go to sea because that was back in the day when they wouldn't let women on the expeditions, so she managed to discover something without even actually being there just by analyzing the data her male colleagues returned with while she was excluded, so her being a woman is relevant to the story.
I think it depends. For modern day i say we should stop with all of the descriptors. The first female, the first black man to, the first etc. Just stop cause it feels, to me, like justified racism/seismic. Like saying "yes that's great you did that but let the real men show you how it's done" But for historical happenstance we should keep it. Moments in history when being a woman and reading could get you killed or being black barred you from pissing in anything but a bush. When it was really breaking barriers. Not applauding mediocrity. The first woman to break the land speed record? Okay why not just say the Land speed record was broken. It's not like we keep multiple records for every race and sex.
There were plenty of staged things with Stephen, as well. All those magic tricks. The science experiments. The dancing robot. The two people with their un-knitting machine. The "spend a penny" and "elephant in the room" bits. I think after a certain amount of series, they needed to break up the Q&A format more and more often, otherwise it can be pretty dry and limited to a certain demographic. I loved Stephen and the early series, but I disliked how Alan always had to play the fool and the (mostly) white boys club. I appreciate the playfulness of the later series and that Alan has been unleashed more. Even so, after watching series U on Britbox, things are getting a bit tired again. They have five more years before the end of the alphabet. Maybe one more host change? Or perhaps Alan can move along? They could use an injection of something more to make it to the end.
@@linrob1312 I'd love to meet your grocer... and I genuinely mean that. I don't know why Lou is there..... I would genuinely pay about 150 quid for your grocer to take her place on the next episode when she's due on. (I'm hoping she won't be on too much).

This was cool! Thanks for bringing the episode to TH-cam
I saw a TV documentary all about land sharks, back in 1975 or so. They ring your doorbell and claim to have a candygram for you.
They also have a Chevy in which they'll chase you....................
They're the most cunning and dangerous of all land animals.

Nice to meet you, your majesty. I'd love to visit sometimes.
@@Ludifant 🤣🤣😂
lots of complainers for something they choose to view and is free, strange
Not really. Some people would bitch if you gave them a million dollars cause it's not in crisp new bills. We humans aren't ever happy really
Not all humans. A large minority
@@tycol322I mean if you gave me a million dollars and it was soaked in diarrhea, yes I would complain.
I wish there had been more complainers, it would have stopped me from wasting my time watching this.
@@gir5o1Bloody wash it!
@32:13 soo that is why Sandi is always on TV but never in any acting roles 😂
Alan is so cute in this outfit 🥰
Susan Langie. Dropping pints between sets. Respect.
This is cutest intro

Of course the Floor Managed on QI would be named Guy Smart.
Don't forget sharknado. All 6 of them
Back in 2000 i was seeing Lou every day in Ramsgate waterfront cafes....😊
Love the American accent for the closing quote!
Her first accent was American and she grew up largely in NY. She switched to a British accent to fit in when she went to a British boarding school.
37:02 - Alan makes a joke but he's actually correct.
Happens frequently.

Bloody French.....
Or is it the Welsh?
They do love a good tan...
Anette Kelerman was played by Esther Williams (who else) in the movies.
10.05m ... gives a whole new meaning to cheese steak
Second episode (I’m watching out of order) in this series where "fecal pellet" has come up
Duck buttered steak. Yum
Misread this during the 🚲 steak bit and...😂🍆
That's called tide.
Consider the coconut!
Where is series U FFS?
Please CC for US we love these shows

Epaulette sharks are small
Lou Sanders' eyeliner is tragic.
Fair play would be for Egypt to steal all the sand and rock from UK beaches and put in a museum in Cairo.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
@@GnomaPhobic but empires rising and falling make world history.
To me personally I believe that Lou is just absolutely hot 🔥
fecal pellet? constipation anyone?
How did the Germans ruin your Spanish holiday? You went to Guernica in 1937
2:20 That is a bit of victim blaming rught there
When do humans evolve to the point when we can just say there was an oceanographer called Marie Tharp without adding 'woman' into the sentence?
Well the story was about how she wasn't allowed to go to sea because that was back in the day when they wouldn't let women on the expeditions, so she managed to discover something without even actually being there just by analyzing the data her male colleagues returned with while she was excluded, so her being a woman is relevant to the story.

Then you need always to say man. If not the default is always man
@@cabrown308 Why not 'person'?
Enjoy it while it lasts, with all the new genders that are popping up , we might be reminiscing about the days when it was just man and woman
I with they'd tone down the staged, rehearsed bits and the props. Let the improvised comedy carry the episode unburdened.
Agree. Its lost the spontaneousness since Fry left

Lou absolutely annoys me because I find her comments quite idiotic. Sindhu is great.
You're not exactly sounding that bright either
It's a year old
Cool story needs more dragons
Wish Sandy would let someone do her hair...no judgment...she's lovely. Just hair/clothes challenged. We all bring something different to the table😊
Lou Sanders is so lame.
In like a super cool way right?
I so agree...my grocer is funnier.
@@linrob1312 your grocer is super funny though right?

@@benny7482 Yes...and very quick witted too.
sandi toksvig, the most overpaid person on the bbc, apart from the pointless host.
So don't watch stuff with her in it then
They're not nearly the highest paid...and I like them both...boo to you.
@@teverwelsch9114 To whose comment are you referring?
No one is making you watch anything. 😂
closest piece of Britain to French soil is the property next to the
french embassy/consulate
Nope, the land remains the property of the host country even if the host's country's laws do not apply there..
@@bluesirva3574 5 minutes on Google would help you understand the legal position
Also, the question was French BEACH, not soil
